Makes My Monday: Kids + Water = Instant Fun
I recently took the kids to a park so they'd have the opportunity to exert all kinds of energy sliding, swinging and climbing on the playground equipment. Unfortunately it had rained the night before so rather than play "as I had intended them to" they made new plans and had a fantastic time splashing in the mud and sliding around the basketball court.
Next time rather than getting us all dressed and combed, packing snacks, toys, sippies, diapers, spare clothes, and a picnic blanket THEN wrestling three surprisingly strong kids into car seats, and driving to the park all before 8:30am (so as to avoid the 100+ temps that will hit by 10am) , I'll just wet the ground a little in the backyard, strip then down, and let them have at it.
If you look really close you'll see Alex DIVING into the puddle on the basketball court. OUCH!

I'm not at all kidding when I tell people that they're always heading (or running!) in opposite directions.


This one was snapped just before Max fell into the mud splashing his sister and her very lovely dress. That'll teach her for being such a girl about getting dirty.
